A cooking appliance

A cooking appliance having a heating element assembly to provide heat to a cooking cavity of the cooking appliance, the heating element assembly including:

• a first heating element, a second heating element, and a third heating element,
• the first and third heating elements at least partially surrounding an area within which the second heating element is located,
• each of the heating elements including a first terminal end portion, a second terminal end portion, and a length extending between the first and second terminal end portions of the respective heating elements,
• the length of each of the first and third heating elements including:
• a first length portion extending from the respective first terminal end portion;
• and
• a second length portion extending from the respective second terminal end portion to the respective first length portion so as to be located adjacent the respective first length portion.

A cooking appliance having a heating element to provide heat to a cooking cavity of the cooking appliance, the heating element including:

• a first terminal end portion, a second terminal end portion, and a length extending between the first and second terminal end portions,
• the length including:
• a first length portion extending from the first terminal end portion towards a first arcuate end portion;
• a second length portion extending from the second terminal end portion towards a second arcuate end portion;
• a third length portion extending from the first arcuate end portion;
• and
• a fourth length portion extending from the second arcuate end portion towards a bridge portion that connects the third and fourth length portions;
• wherein:
• the first and second length portions are located between the third and fourth length portions,
• the third and fourth length portions each include a first sub-portion, a second sub-portion, and a third sub-portion,
• the first sub-portions extend from the bridge portion, with the first sub-portion of the third length portion and the first sub-portion of the fourth length portion each having a major direction of extension, with the major directions of extension being parallel,
• the second sub-portions diverge from the respective first sub-portions in opposite direction towards the respective third sub-portions, and
• the third sub-portions converge from the respective second sub-portions towards the respective arcuate end portions.

A cooking appliance having a floor, a deck supported so as to be movable relative to the floor, a heating element supported by the deck and a flexible electrical coupling to provide power to the heating element, the flexible electrical coupling being elongated so as to have a longitudinal axis and opposite first and second end portions,

• the first end portion being fixed to the deck so as to remain stationary relative thereto,
• the second end portion being fixed to the floor so as to remain stationary relative thereto,
• the first end portion being angularly movable relative to the second end portion along an arcuate path,
• the first end portion including a first axis portion of the longitudinal axis, the first axis portion having a major direction of extension, and
• the second end portion including a second axis portion of the longitudinal axis, the second axis portion having a major direction of extension that remains parallel to the major direction of extension of the first axis portion.
